My mom and Aunt went on this cruise but she was legally blind when she went and didn't take photos, she couldn't see very well to take them. I have very few pictures of her trip to Alaska so this has been fun looking at yours. I think she went to this little town. Cute page, love the postcards.
Every night was party-time on Creek Street. Miners, fishermen, loggers and townspeople gathered to carouse, drink and visit the clapboard bordellos built along the boardwalk. Music floated out over the water and lights glowed from the windows, while the girls paraded, titillating and semi-nude, behind lace curtains.
Although drinking was against the law (no one paid much attention to this) prostitution was legal, and the "sporting women" of the red light area of Creek Street, registered their businesses with the city police. Creek Street was alive and roared through the '20s, '30s '40s and into the 50's.
